They warned me...

This would normally be the part where I pick the game apart and explain why it's bad, but I'm straining to remember anything about it despite beating it two days ago. The first game was cringy, but at least it had an identity. Does anyone seriously need me to tell them that DMC2 is bad? It seems to be word of god at this point.

"DMC 2 is bad" - Me
Goodnight. Tip your waitresses.

Like a fine milk.

DMC was a groundbreaking release early into the PS2's tenure who's influence can still be felt today. Bayonetta, God of War, and of course later DMC titles were shaped by the dual-wielding hero's first violent romp. Capcom deserves credit for revolutionizing, if-not inventing, the hack-and-slash genre, and DMC is an important game for that, but...

I didn't enjoy revisiting this game at all. The combat mechanics are shallow, the enemy and level designs are nothing special, the voice acting and dialogue are painful, and the dated graphics sting my eyes. DMC fails to deliver timeless art, compelling narrative, or enduring gameplay. Because of that, I cannot recommend another trip through Mundus's castle for any reason apart from perspective or nostalgia. Be that as it may, I am excited to delve further into the series, as I know later titles will fair better when held to the standards of modern media.

Most later titles.
